Sarah Bear Elizabeth Wishnevsky (born September 22, 1971 in Hartford , Connecticut ) is an American writer who mainly writes science fiction and fantasy under the name Elizabeth Bear . She was honored with the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 2005 , the Hugo Award for Best Short Story for Tideline in 2008 , and the Hugo Award for Best Novelette for Shoggoths in Bloom in 2009 . This makes her one of only five John W. Campbell Award winners who have received several Hugo Awards in their subsequent careers (the others are CJ Cherryh , Orson Scott Card , Spider Robinson and Ted Chiang ).

Life

Bear is of Ukrainian and Swedish descent, with some of their ancestors claiming to be descended from the Vikings.

She was born and raised in Hartford, Connecticut , where she worked in the media industry, as a groom, as a reporter for miscellaneous items, editor for microbiological process manuals for an inner city hospital with 1,000 beds, typesetter and layouter, as traffic manager for an import -Export company, and acted as "the girl who makes the donuts at The Whole Donut at three o'clock in the morning."

She lived in Las Vegas, Nevada for some time (the setting for the short stories One-Eyed Jack and the Suicide King , Follow Me Light, and This Tragic Glass ), but returned to Connecticut in January 2006.

Her first novel, Hammered , was published in January 2005, followed by Scardown in July and Worldwired in November of that year. The trilogy is about the Canadian Master Warrant Officer Jenny Casey, who is also the main character in the short story Gone to Flowers . Hammered received the Locus Award for Best First Novel 2006.

The short story collection The Chains That You Refuse was published by Night Shade Books in May 2006. Blood and Iron , the first book in the fantasy series The Promethean Age , was published June 27, 2006. She is also co-author of the website / pseudo-television series Shadow Unit.

In 2008 she donated her archive to the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections at Northern Illinois University .

She teaches at the Viable Paradise Writer's Workshop and the Clarion Science Fiction Writers' Workshop .

The opening quote of the Criminal Minds episode Lauren (6.18, Lauren Reynolds is dead ) was a literal quote from Bear's book Seven for a Secret : “The secret to lying is to believe with all your heart. That goes for lying to yourself even more than lying to another. ”(“ The secret of lying is to believe with all your heart. This is even more true when you lie to yourself than when you lie to someone else. ”)

She appears regularly in SF Squeecast , which won the Hugo Award for "Best Fancast" in 2012 and 2013 .
